This is a great product in my opinion.

This is a great product in my opinion. We have a couple of good computer systems, but like me they are getting on a bit but still useful. For whatever reason they are not the fastest machines for surfing and posting on the internet. As photographers they work perfectly for picture editing etc. but as I say for posting on blogs etc. they were getting past there sell buy dates. I went out yesterday to buy a new computer, to stop myself going completely mad and putting a fist through a monitor screen.

A great guy at PC World introduced me to this gadget. So far I am very impressed. £199 and very fast. It boots up in seconds and I can be posting on the blog within no time all. The beauty of this machine is the size of the screen and keyboard. I had tried out ipads etc. and found the screens too small and typing on screen a right palaver. If you are looking for a cost effective way to go on line and work fast this may suit you very well. Bear in mind this is not a laptop computer, you cannot load software on to it. The advantage there is nor can anyone else, so no virus protection etc.is needed.

Hi Eddie I've been toying with buying one of these myself as I've heard really positive things about them and the price is similar to an Amazon kindle Fire HD tablet (which is too small a screen for me) My Laptop is a right one legged Tortoise to boot up Windows 7 and get surfing and I'm pretty impatient so this could be just the thing I'm looking for-Cheers Eddie and happy surfing!

Technology can be great and the younger generation have to have all the latest. The problem with a lot of things you purchase these days is you have to have programmes or apps whatever they are called, which you do not need, well I certainly don't. Whatever happened to simplicity?

The good thing about this box of tricks is you can try it in the shop. See how fast it gets onto a blog or website, very fast I reckon. Easy to use and does not cost a fortune. By the way you get free remote storage for two years a hundred gig I believe. I don't think I will bother with that. I just need a fast weapon to take on the anti's LOL.
